The Hopfield model and its role in the development of synthetic biology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Neural network models make extensive use of concepts coming from physics and engineering. How do scientists justify the use of these concepts in the representation of biological systems?

Mammalian cochlea as a physics guided evolution-optimized hearing sensor [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Nonlinear physics plays an essential role in hearing, from sound signal generation to sound sensing to the processing of complex sound environments. We demonstrate that the evolution of the biological hearing sensors demonstrates a dramatic reduction in ...

Protein folding disorders: Toward a basic biological paradigm [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Mechanistic 'physics' models of protein folding fail to account for the observed spectrum of protein folding and aggregation disorders, suggesting that a more appropriately biological paradigm will be needed for understanding the etiology ...

Physical foundations of biological complexity [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2018
SignificanceLiving organisms are characterized by a degree of hierarchical complexity that appears to be inaccessible to even the most complex inanimate objects. Routes and patterns of the evolution of complexity are poorly understood. We propose a general conceptual framework for emergence of complexity through competing interactions and frustrated ...

A Problem with STEM [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Striking differences between physics and biology have important implications for interdisciplinary science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. I am a physicist with interdisciplinary connections. The research group in which I work,

Brownian motion: a paradigm of soft matter and biological physics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
This is a pedagogical introduction to Brownian motion on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Einstein's 1905 paper on the subject. After briefly reviewing Einstein's work in its contemporary context, we pursue some lines of further developments and ...
